Kick off Texas History Month at the Capitol Visitors Center on Saturday, March 5th. Watch the Independence Parade along Congress Avenue beginning at 11:00 A.M., and then come over to the Visitors Center and learn more about the history of our state. The Texas General Land Office will have many documents and artifacts on display, some of which date back to the 1500s. Historical re-enactors from the Spanish, French and Revolutionary eras will be on hand to talk with you. The Visitors Center also features exhibits and films about the history of the Capitol and Texas.

Step 1 Visit Washington-on-the-Brazos, where the Texas Independence Convention signed the Republic into being. It's now a state park with state-of-the-art interactive exhibits open year round, with plenty of rousing events during the week of March 2.
